The education sector in the country might also be hit with a major crisis as no fewer than 32 state-owned tertiary institutions owe their academic and non-academic workers between four and 23 months’ salaries, Punch reports.

The report says staff in these schools have threatened to strike if they’re not paid quickly.

The schools include Ladoke Akintola University of Technology, Ogbomoso

The lecturers also threatened to embark on industrial action if the governments of the two states refused to consent to their demand.

Chairman of LAUTECH ASUU, Oyebamiji Oyegoke, had said that the lecturers had been living in poverty as a result of the states’ refusal to fulfill their financial obligations to them.

Such plight is the same for other workers, both teaching and non-teaching staff in other institutions across the country.
